But I suspect a lot of people would be surprised at how close to god they can get by staring unflinchingly into boredom.

How on earth is a 13 year sentence an adequate response when the victim has lost 25 years of her life?

Is it just me or is the aggressive and threatening harassment of a woman by men claiming to defend women and children just a deeply weird and creepy flex?

No, but you MUST say it. I’m no expert, but if I remember correctly the Jesus didn’t care a fig about β€˜outcry’.

Fascinating 🧐
Thank you for taking the time to

So, but what was the PIE verb to see? And do we still use its linguistic progeny?

To be clear he seems to be attacking the voters of Gordon & Denton at least as much.

Perhaps. But I don’t think racist rhetoric coupled with policies designed to punch down on immigrants, the elderly, lgbt+, or disabled people are steering things in the right direction.

Again with the echoing. It really doesn’t make the point I think you want it to but I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Be well and take care πŸ‘πŸ»

Of manifest destiny. I’d also point out that my initial comment was about a rhetorical device you were employing.

Let’s leave aside that healthcare is about human rights and dignity, and not about nationalism. I’m not mad at Americans at all. I’m genuinely sorry for the predicament you’re in. But punching down on friends and neighbours is now seen as the American way. It feels like a weird progeny

Don’t forget about the universal healthcare!

Quite! But for what (little) it is worth: it’s not just the orange bloke, this, right here, is why no one wants to play with you.

I’m not sure echoing statements is really the flex you think it is.

Wow! That took a lot of effort to read. Dumb-as-Fuck homophobia and utterly substanceless journalism. Nil points.

Just FYI, they’ve reposted the article to their Bluesky account (to bump it, I assume) and haven’t changed the headline!

You seem to just be reposting an article in which you’ve interviewed an accomplished and qualified scientist but made her out to be a dilettante in your headline. Why not just fix the headline and move on? You know, like decent folks would.

It might help if you sit and write down the thought process that led to this ridiculous headline. What exactly were you hoping to convey to your readers and why?

No, but β€œkiss from a rose on the grail,” surely?

I met her at a book signing and fanboyed hard. She was supremely friendly and gracious and, off her own bat, offered to record a cheerio on my phone to my father in law who is also a fan.

Imagine feeling that someone doesn’t warrant an obituary. Everyone should get one. And this woman CERTAINLY deserves it. I’d not heard much other than her name, so thank you for sharing!

And his vision of the common good is woeful and seems focused on maintaining the status quo. And all voices of dissent, which might inspire some second, better, thoughts were exorcised long ago.
